  1. I had someone ask just for ash a couple years ago, i said fine but it will be double the cost. Thinking they would go else where. But they were more than happy to pay!
  2. Your wasted as a tree surgeon or whatever you call yourself mate. You talk alot of sense! :thumbup1:
  3. What you plan on using the crane for Mick?
  4. Yh, i read it on here! Its a classic and defiently one im going to try!
  5. Bump starting a chainsaw has got to be the best one i heard! Pulling the chain along on a log and trying to flick the on swith on at the same time.
  6. Take note mate, he felled a pine, took pictures, which he put on here! cracking job though
  7. Good looking truck that, i had it mind you were getting a tipper though? A long wait indeed, we are finding the customer service of our local landrover dealer pretty poor at the moment aswell.
  8. Its often the case mate, chainsaw files dont last aslong as they used to.
  9. that was on there ages ago, and eventually removed by ebay i think. So funny though.
  10. Nothing as yet, well felled a tree and caught a branch on a small magnolia that came off. Just tidyed it up with the loppers, jobs a good'un Stay safe guys
  11. Nothing, thats if i go. Well actully, maybe a pair of glasses.
  12. and feeding the chipper. Drives me mad lol
  13. Has gloria taken early retirment? lol
  14. Our l200 at work did the same, jap crap
  15. keith yates is based by me and have heard about that job, never seen the video before though. Awsum.
  16. I tried opening a moto-x track, you are allowed 14days riding without planning permission. Anyone and everyone complains about the noise, just because they can i think. Which is why there are hardly any tracks around. Most race tracks dont have planning permission but are only used for 14 days a year. Landrake and fraddon are the only ones i know down in cornwall, none of them have planning.
  17. Great stuff as always mate. As for peoples comments on PPE, i dont care what others decide to wear, or not to wear. Aslong as they dont think there all big and clever for not wearing PPE, thinking there "cool" (like some of the lads at college used to be) then it dosnt bother me.
  18. BFG mud terrains everytime. I used to run coopers on my landy, and have experience with other cheaper mud terrains. They do perform well offroad, but they dont last long at all in comparison to BFG's.
  19. Start at 8:30 and generally home when the job/jobs are done anytime from 3 - 5 generally. If we finish really earlier then we process firewood for abit. In the spring i come home and work for my dad, from whenever i finish work till 11/12 at night. Then up again for tree work in the morning. And if im delivering (2nd job) i start at 4 in the morning and can spend hours and hours on the road. (I have breaks obviously)
  20. im 6ft 5 and 12stone, tis handy being tall, gives you good reach. We had a chap on our course at college, must have been similar weight to you, i had to rescue him on my cs38 assesment There was only one harness that would fit him, he was a good climber when it came to take downs though. Not sure about reductions, never worked with him on one.
  21. Spud guns are awsum!!
  22. PM sent Would buy it all if i could lol
  23. Really quiet here, back to 3 days a week which im struggling to live on tbh. Keep getting local companies sending our house hold letters advertising there work. One offered to do free written tree surveys.
  24. Standard sony ericson jobby, hardly use me phone if im honest.
